Is it okay to just do several matches at the same time against the same opponent in the tourney? That would make it quicker than having to play it match by match.

Uhm...maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the YouTube video clip I uploaded isn't showing up. Would you mind uploading our first real game, snoopeasystreet?

Edit: My client crashed a few seconds after I finished recording it. It probably got interrupted mid-transfer. Here's a practice match against NIN90 instead. Is there an easy way to re-record older matches?

That one shotgunner fucked me up so much in that first turn. Why did he go that way and kill my MG? :<

Yes, you can look in your match history and do it from there - which matches do you need? The first, second, or both?

If your opponent is okay with it, there is no problem :)
But don't expect it, I wouldn't want to play tournament matches parallel for example.

Damn, the green shotgunner was a real commando during that.

Yes, sacrificing a black rooster before the match sure paid off. Also note that my assault rifle guy closest to the bottom of the screen was avoiding incoming fire by ducking during the first 10 seconds. Never though it would be that useful.

Just couldn't catch a break that match. Everything was going wrong.

Well, I think I had slightly better starting positions. Better luck next time! Do you want to play the other two matches tonight?

I'm going to grab a bite to eat in a few minutes and then I'll be on all night.

I look forward to a day when I have money to spend on this direct to the developers, possibly springing for the Soundtrack Edition while I am dreaming big here.

Almost as much as that, the possibilities for when modding for this gets underway are staggering. Can you say potential for a grand D&D'ish fantasy doings that can trump KoTC and ToEE Co8 in terms of tactical goodness? I can see it, even with what is just there now in terms of the destructible environ and early glimpses of custom maps still keeping the guns n' such end of things.

Or if they don't want to change things so wholesale....I could easily be convinced to enjoy something Shadowrun'ish...mwahaha!

Wow, that's a brutal shotgunner!

He wanted to avenge my honor after the mistakes I made in the second match. :)
I thought I was a goner in this third match, since my GL was too close to the enemy SG, but I managed to survive and win, some way or another.

Shit. a D&D conversion would be amazing. Someone suggest that to the devs; maybe they'll pitch it to Wizards of the Coast or something.

Slightly strange question - does this game use the arrow keys? If so can the controls be remapped? The right arrow key on my keyboard's stopped working, so until I get a new keyboard, I can't use the arrows.

Heh, nah...best to keep it "inspired by", or at least along OGL lines. Those are how KoTC and Incursion stay on solid footing.

WoTC/ATARI are kind of dicks about most things anyways.

Speaking of OGL, there's also Pathfinder as an option---as it certainly still lacks any videogame presence for some insane reason...

Most of us are playing on UK2 but you can change the server everytime you login.

I was thinking more in terms of a virtual tabletop with rules, etc automatically taken care of. Kind of like Magic Workstation and other similar programs. Could help with people that can't always meet face to face to play.

Then again, it'll never exist, so I can only dream. :c

This server thing is making my games disappear. I have two games appear in the Games section in the lower left, but after I pick a server they go away. These games were started before they started making us choose a server.

What happens If you chose a game before choosing a server?

This game is brilliant, I would be totally happy with an X-COM/Jagged Alliance that used this system. So sooo good.

I'm trying to get onto the server to start my games but it's having issues :(
Hopefully I'll manage to get on sometime today.
